U Camelopardalis is carbon star located in the constellation of Camelopardalis (giraffe, go figure). Carbon stars are red giants that contain larger amounts of carbon in their outer layers giving them a reddish color. The red giant phase is near the end of a main sequence star. In 2012 it shed a large shell of gas from its outer layers.
